A new mock-up video of the iPhone 17 Pro from leaker Jon Prosser indicates the device will feature an all-new camera bar design similar to that of Google’s Pixel handhelds.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro will reportedly feature an all-new camera bar design.
According to leaker Jon Prosser from FrontPageTech, the next Pro handsets will see an extended camera bar design similar to that seen in Google’s Pixel series.
The analyst claims the three camera lenses will remain positioned on the left side of the iPhone’s back, but the flash, LiDAR Scanner and microphone will be shifted over to the right.
Previous reports indicated Apple was considering moving the lenses from its triangular layout to a more evenly spread horizontal one, though Prosser explained this is impossible, as the Face ID sensors take up too much space in the upper-middle area of the device to allow such a design.
While Prosser claims to have seen this new camera design for the iPhone 17 Pro and supplied a concept video of it in a YouTube video posted to his FrontPageTech channel, other Apple analysts are not convinced by his assertions.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman since took to X (formally Twitter) to deny Prosser’s render was real, and said the design he saw had been based on a “fake” concept of the iPhone 17 Pro’s camera layout.
As well as the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, Apple is expected to release the standard iPhone 17, and will also reportedly unveil the iPhone 17 Air in September 2025.
According to several reports, this supposed device will be the tech company’s thinnest iPhone ever, and will ship with a single 48-megapixel shooter on the back that will also sport the same camera bar design seen in the Pro handhelds.
